A macOS Quick Look extension that renders syntax-highlighted previews of source code files in Finder, built on the Highlight library. It ships as a standalone app with a settings UI and CLI, supporting macOS 10.15 and later.

Use cases

  • preview source code files in Finder with syntax highlighting
  • quickly view code files without opening an editor
  • customize Quick Look themes and colors for code previews
  • add support for custom file formats in macOS Quick Look
  • highlight source files on macOS Catalina and later

When to choose

  • you want fast, in-Finder previews of source code on macOS
  • you need configurable highlighting themes and broad file-format support
  • you prefer a native Quick Look extension over opening files in an IDE

When to avoid

  • you are on Linux or Windows, since it is macOS-only
  • you need full editing or IDE features rather than read-only previews
  • you require macOS versions older than 10.15 Catalina
